    ^^^^true, if taking heavy cuts you'll probably get some movement somewhere to cause accuracy to be affect, but he is cutting wood, not aluminum or steel, he should be cutting it fairly easy. Are your cuts 2" deep or something big like that?"

    Wood has 'grain' which makes it more of a problem when the cutter is catching that grain. Plastic can be as problematic with 'hard spots' which cause problems.
